Y M U.S.A. June 21. 1940, Marshal! Henri Petam, Premier of France, Bordeaux, France Dear Sir; With your country prostrate be- fore an overwhelming Nazi hoard and your government burdened with the heart-breaking task of seeking peace with your arrogant conquerors perhaps no more silly waste of time would be the read- mtt of this letter. Yet I speak with sincerity and I bring you a message from young America, a message such as you will not receive from our diplo- mats or Congressmen. Let me hastily state that I speak from no \official\ stand- point whatsoever. favored. Ruck gained the sec- j sire to deceive ' for myself, but ond round with a hard-fought win over Bobby Pendleton 6—2, 5—7, 6—3, while Farley advanced with a default win over Rolf Monsen. In the lower half of the draw little action has been seen with byes and withdrawals marring the competitive angle. George Swayze and George Barker advanced to the second round via the bye route, with Swayze downing the Port- land, Me,, youth 6—2, 6—2, in their second round engagement. John Stevens, third seeded player in the tournament, arrived in the sec- ond round with a default win over Bob Mjadden and will meet the winner of the Bill Meyer-Dave Pendleton match. Stevens is fa- vored to reach the semi-final round; where he will meet Swayze tomor- row afternoon. The finals of the tournament will be held on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the municipal courts. An open doubles tournament will be sponsored by the tennis club on Saturday, July 6th, as a part of the gigantic Fourth of July celebration being staged here July 4-7. The tournament will be a one day affair beginning at 9:30 a.m. with the final round scheduled at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. I have no de- you. I speck also for thou- sands of American youths who are perfectly capable of thinking for themselves. But maybe I'd better cut the baloney and have my say. Primarily we feel your defeat though it were our own. It's | ica has matured. In spite cf their [delusions and dissipations, they are still Americans. They are willing to fight for their country if their country is invaded, as indeed free men al- ways are. But also they are view- ing the upheaval in Europe with gathering alarm of **wh»t goes on here?\ They feel that the world, after all, is a small place to attempt to live in harmony with such men as Hitler and that the free peoples must not vanish from the earth. They don't just know what they can do to stop it, but they are ready to do what our leaders de- cide best. They stand with their back? straight facing the future unafraid. They are forming the basis of a tremendous block that is demanding that HITLER MUST BE STOPPED. Now it is only a whisper, he&rd on the street corners and in the stores and on the playing field. But soon it wil! become a voice, and then a shout, and a deafening roar. And, youth, as always, will be served, I know, our politicians and dip- lomats say differently. They say we won't fight. But you must re- member that they are, after all, politicians—and we don't take our politicians too seriously. I must again insist that I am speaking without authority.

Thousands more were maimed horribly, legs and arms missing or lungs destroyed by poison gvs. For these we built huge hospitals throughout the land. Citadels of human misery caused by man's blundering hand. But here, in my own home town, are many who did live to return to the American way of life and speak with admiration of the cour- age of your soldiers and your people. And it is inconceivable to them that France will be conquered as long as a single Frenchman lives. What is coining to pas» they view I must fight. Our prayer to you, Marshall, that you may continue to resist the invader. Not being a military expert I can't presume to tell you how this can be done. But know- ing you as Frenchmen I bave faith that somehow, somewhere you can make your stand and will give your abusers blow for. Wow. We will give you the aid our President lias promised — not be- disbelief. But this is not the generation that concerns me now. Rather it's the post-war class, the boys who were nourished on delusion and despair, whose badge was a sneer and a wisecrack, whose principles were selfish indulgence, and whose goals were a bottle of gin and a necking party. These are the boys who, when war broke out last September, said: \To hell with it. I won't fight for no one.

And they can hunt me until hell freezes over.\ And no one blamed them for their attitude. Life is good, even if too complicated at times. But the past few weeks have changed the complexion of the world considerably. The sense of security we once enjoyed has van- ished; the things we lived by are dissolving under our feet and a new challenge has confronted us. And how are the youth of Amer- ica meeting this challenge ? You'd be surprised, Marshall. In stores, on street, corners, on baseball lots, in tap rooms, in gym- nasiums, in pool rooms, I have lis- tened to them talk. They talk of war. Not of the adventure or the heroics. Nor do they bubble with wild enthusiasm or vilifications of our potential enemies. They talk soberly and' grimly as men. They, say, \if I am called I will fight.\ Suddenly, Marshal, Young Amer- Luxurious graceful drap> ing crepe. Exclusive pastel stripes in colorings related to new soft-toned Spring shirts.
